Huh. I’ve not had that experience. Then again, I don’t have a ton of tray icons on my Mint install, mostly just Steam, Telegram, and occasionally Discord.
I did have my panel set up vertical, with the system tray icons in two columns. Typically there were two groups (for some reason) stacked on top of eachother and if the top one had an odd number of icons then there was a conspicuous gap.
Now I use Kubuntu, though I miss the GNOME text editor (I installed it, but with GNOME being GNOME it wasn’t themeable, and I can’t find the Cinnamon or Xfce fork in the repositories).
TBH I’m fine with XFCE. It looks reasonably modern but is lightweight and uncomplicated. Takes recolors well, too. Never had any problems with it.
Yeah, but system tray icons don’t really behave consistently on Xfce.
